BEACON FALLS — It is with great sadness that we suddenly must say good-bye to Edward L. Kersten. On March 6, 2014, he left this world to join his family in the glorious glow of God.

Mr. Kersten was born in Stamford, Conn. on Aug. 11, 1927, son of the late Stanley and Josephine (Serafin) Kersten. He attended Stamford public schools, and his first work experience was at Luders Boat Yard in 1943. He followed that with 37 years working at Reflectoncon flight trainers for the military.

He was a member of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, and over the years held positions of quartermaster for the Stamford Silver Falcons, Cubmaster and Home and School president for St. Mary's School.
